Baked Brie
COURTESY OF LINES+ANGLES
Cheese is beloved all over the world. That popularity is something hosts can keep in mind as they plan to welcome loved ones into their homes during the holiday season. Couple the popularity of cheese with a little spice, as this recipe for "Baked Brie With Blackberry Compote and Spicy Candied Pecans" from Lines+Angles does, and hosts are sure to have a crowd pleaser on their hands.
Makes 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients:
For the compote:
3 cups blackberries
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the pecans:
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch chili powder
1 small egg white
1 tablespoon water
2 cups pecans
For the cheese:
2 Brie wheels
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pomegranate, seeded
Fresh thyme sprigs
Multigrain crackers
Directions:
With Blackberry Compote and Spicy Candied Pecans
1. For the compote: Combine blackberries, sugar, water, and vanilla extract in a heavybased saucepan.
2. Cover and cook over a medium heat, stirring from time to time, until the blackberries are soft and jammy, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to one side.
3. For the spicy candied pecans: Preheat the oven to 250 F. Stir together sugar and spices in a large mixing bowl.
4. Whisk egg white with water in a separate bowl until frothy. Toss pecans in egg white mixture before removing and tossing in the spiced sugar to coat.
5. Spread out on a baki ng sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 1 hour, turning over every 15 minutes, until dry and crisp.
6 Remove from the oven and let cool to one side. Increase oven to 350 F.
7. For the cheese: Remove the tops of the rinds from the Brie wheels. Place the Brie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Drizzle with olive oil before baking for 25 to 30 minutes until melted and bubbling.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool briefly before topping with the blackberry compote, spiced pecans, pomegranate seeds, and thyme sprigs.
10. Serve with the multigrain crackers and any remaining compote and pecans on the side.
Christmas Tree Cake Pops
COURTESY OF LINES+ANGLES
There's no denying Christmas Eve is a special time. And kids' joy and enthusiasm helps to make the holiday season such a special time of year.
Since kids add so much to the holidays, it makes sense to prepare something special for youngsters. Of course, treats such as these "Christmas Tree Cake Pops" from Lines+Angles also may appeal to festive adults.
Makes 24 cake pops
Ingredients:
1 box vanilla cake mix
¾ cup canola oil
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon milk
3 ½ cups green candy melts
24 cake pop sticks
Icing dots
Icing stars
Directions:
1. Prepare cake according to package instructions, adding ¾ cup canola oil to the cake mix before baking.
2. Once cake is cool to the touch, transfer to a large mixing bowl and break up into crumbs. Allow to cool completely.
3. In a medium bowl, add the butter, sugar, vanilla, and milk. Use an electric mixer and beat on medium speed for about 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
4. Add ¾ of the frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until mixture can hold together well. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
5. Using your hands, shape the cake pop mixture into 24 conical shapes.
6. Melt the green candy melts. Dip one end of each of the cake pop sticks into the melted chocolate before inserting into the bottom of the cake pops. Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover completely, allowing excess to drip back into bowl.
7. Use a toothpick to create the textured look of the tree and decorate with the icing dots and stars before standing upright to dry completely.
